If you don't like brake dust make sure you never buy the ds2500 pads. I just put them on the front and every 4 days I have to wash my whole car due to the dust. The front silver wheels become crimson red, my door jams have the red dust in them and leave a pink hue along the jam and the rear wheels are pink from the brake dust coming off the front wheels.

I can stop on a dime though.

I just use basic wheel cleaner and a hose, but I never let it build up... I'm kind of OCD about my vehicles that way.

I plasti-dip all my wheels and then I simply peel it off when brake dust accumulates. Then, simply re-plasti-dip and problem solved.

You are welcome.

OP, to clean your wheels get some Simple Green, dilute it however you want (I pour a few ounces in a bucket of water, and clean your wheels. I haven't seem any wheel cleaner clean wheels like Simple Green. (I use Simple Green HD or pro or whatever now; it's $3-4 more than the regular one at Home Depot)

I daily drive my 2010 Nismo with the factory Nismo wheels, for weekends
and car shows on go a set of Work Wheels. I bought these brake pads
from Z1 Motorsports. They produce very little brake dust and run quiet,
They are not for tracking your Z and are not a high performance pad.

60,000 miles and drive my Nismo every day of the week....

the dusting on the Z's factory pads is nothing comparing to euro car brake dust and my G's original brembo pads.

Agreed,esp BMW & Mercedes Benz...our stock brake pads,is one of the least brake dusts,anyway,every 2 weeks,i used compressed air to blow off the dusts from the calipers.

Don't know as I've never used sonax stuff before or watched any of their product videos. I've used brake dust pro before, sprayed it liberally on the wheels and allowed it to sit for a few minutes. Hose it off and it removes 95% of the gunk. Might have to get into the tight angles with a brush but the hard part is already done.
